FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this 2020 suitable for someone who enjoys light, less structured reds?

This is not the profile to favor in that case: this vintage is described as powerful, concentrated, and structured. It is better suited to those seeking depth and presence.

Why choose this vintage if I enjoy wines from sunny years?

The warm, sunny character of 2020 translates here into power and concentration. It is therefore a fitting choice if you are looking for this expression of the vintage in an Hermitage.

Does the expression of the vintage overshadow that of the terroir?

According to the description provided, this cuvée fully expresses its terroir despite the sunny character of the year. The power of 2020 is accompanied by the finesse and elegance associated with Hermitage.

What should I look for when tasting it beyond its concentration?

The description also highlights structure, depth, and aromatic complexity. The point is therefore to observe how these qualities come together, rather than judging the wine solely on its power.

Is this cuvée suitable for a tasting focused on the influence of the vintage?

Yes, its profile offers a relevant starting point: the warmth of 2020 is explicitly linked to its power and concentration. The stated finesse and expression of the terroir also ensure that the tasting is not reduced to the year’s sunny character alone.
